I thought I was going to have more time on my hands but turns out I'm still busy! Still up and out of the house at a decent time, although decent in my book is a lot later than in most other people's. I did take some time though to pick the fabrics for my next block. I'll tell you, these all make me so so happy to work with. I never would have thought I'd have the patience for this kind of quilt, but I love it. I also love the machine work a lot. I've been doing a lot of invisible machine applique and blanket stitching on my Celebrity Stunt Sewing job and I just love how it makes me feel calm. Kind of a zen thing for me I guess. One with the machine and all that. (ok, I smacked myself.. I'm over it)

We stopped in at The Quilter's Inn today. Jane and Kathy kitted up my version of the Flight of Fancy and you can see it there in the midst of a very cheery display for Valentine's Day and some springy fresh looking fabrics.

See more of the happy outing over at Elizabeth's. She's got some photos that make me look as ridiculous as I often seem here!

OOoo - it sounds like I'll be stopping at Quilter's Inn with Nicole in April (I'm coming down from Washington State for her retreat). Oh, what an extra special treat it would be to meet the famous Pamkittymorning, too!

The Quilter's Inn looks like a beautiful store ... it's only 30 miles from San Franscisco ... wondering how scary the drive is because it would mean over the Oakland Bay Bridge, right? But a great quilt shop is well worth a white knuckled drive!
